Large images slow down your site. Learn how to compress them without sacrificing quality.

Page speed is a ranking factor for Google. A 1-second delay in load time can lead to a 7% reduction in conversions. And the biggest culprit? Large, unoptimized images.

The Axonix Image Compressor helps you fix this in seconds.

Why Image Size Matters

  • User Experience: Nobody wants to wait for images to load.
  • SEO: Core Web Vitals directly impact search rankings.
  • Bandwidth Costs: Smaller images mean lower hosting bills.

Compression Types

There are two main types:

  1. Lossy: Removes some data for smaller files (e.g., JPEG quality reduction).
  2. Lossless: Preserves all data but compresses less (e.g., PNG optimization).

Our tool typically offers smart lossy compression that's nearly indistinguishable from the original.

How to Use Axonix Image Compressor

  1. Upload your image (JPEG, PNG, WebP).
  2. Let us process and optimize.
  3. Download the compressed version.

It's that simple. No software to install, no limits.

Compress your images now.
